I've found that I can find stuff using Google. Not sure if it always

In the past, I have used "strings" to search for project strings
embedded within the binaries. Not every binary has them though.
I tried both the Apple sites and Google, and they didn't give hits.
For 'mach_', there seems to in general no man-pages.
Try reading Amit Singh's book.
In general, we consider the Mach stuff to be implementation detail,
and want you to use franewrks so we can feel free to change the
implementation details, in particular, the interface contracts, any
time we want.
Feel free to figure out how to use the functions directly; but expect
to have to rework and recompile your code after any release or
software update, with no prior warning and no recourse, should you
break.
